Iranian operatives charged in US with hacking Trump's presidential campaign

The Justice Department unsealed criminal charges Friday against three Iranian operatives suspected of hacking Donald Trump's presidential campaign and disseminating stolen information to media organisations. The latest action, coupled with sanctions and rewards for information leading to the hackers' capture, is the latest US government effort to call out what's seen as Iran's attempts to interfere in the election by damaging Trump and sowing general chaos. It comes as Iran has also been accused of threatening the lives of Trump and former officials and US-Iran relations remain especially tense with Israel fighting Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon. The defendants' own words made clear that they were attempting to undermine former President Trump's campaign in advance of the 2024 US presidential election. We know that Iran is continuing with its brazen efforts to stoke discord, erode confidence in the US electoral process and advance its malign activities, Attorney General ...

US intel warns Trump on 'real' assassination threat from Iran: Campaign

US intelligence agencies have briefed former president Donald Trump on the "real and specific" threat to his life allegedly from Iran to allegedly "sow chaos" in the country, according to his campaign. Two apparent assassination attempts have been made in the same number of months on the life of the 78-year-old Republican presidential candidate.

Intelligence officials have identified these "continued and coordinated" attacks heightened in the past few months, and law enforcement officials across all agencies are working to ensure Trump is protected and the November election is free from interference, Cheung said. On July 13, the first failed assassination attempt on Trump was made

Iran wants to play 'constructive role' in world affairs: Pezeshkian to UN

Iran's new president signalled to world leaders Tuesday that he wants to open a constructive chapter in his country's international relations but he made clear that everyone else, including the United States, needs to do their part. In his first speech at the UN General Assembly's annual gathering of world leaders, Masoud Pezeshkian struck a somewhat more measured tone than his predecessors often have in recent years. I aim to lay a strong foundation for my country's entry into a new era, positioning it to play an effective and constructive role in the evolving global order, said Pezeshkian, a heart surgeon who ran as a reformer. He took office in July. Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, opened the door last month to renewed negotiations with the United States over his country's rapidly advancing nuclear programme, telling Iran's civilian government there was no harm in engaging with its enemy. The United States, under former President Donald Trump, withdrew in 2018 fr
